Unplugged - Preparing for Cloud Computing &amp; PDC

Unplugged - Preparing for Cloud Computing &amp; PDC

I have just finished a road trip talking to developers about preparing for cloud computing, Silverlight 2, IE8 and upcoming announcements at PDC.

The session was intended as a high level over-view to set the scene for the next wave of IT trends and development technologies hitting us square between the eyes at PDC in just under two weeks time.

The start of the presentation is inspired by a very popular talk that Miha Kralj gave at Tech.Ed on the future of IT. I contacted Miha to see if he was comfortable representing his material on cloud computing in my unplugged session which he agreed to. I recommend checking out Miha’s discussion with Rob O’Neill for more context on this topic.

The demo section on 76design Jewelers in the middle of my presentation was prepared for the Right Click event that I was presenting at the same time as unplugged and you can read more about what was shown and how to implement the demos over here.

The Trey Research Demo – is available as part of the US Tech.Ed Keynote (6 mins 28 secs).
